Memorable Phrases uttered by PCs

Edgewood said:
Talmir (The King's Herald) whispering to the PCs: I know that you just saved the kingdom and all, but you still have to bow to his majesty the King.
PCs: .....long unblinking stares.....

Oh, man, have I been there.

Two of my favorites, one IC and one OOC.

PCs are going through the Return to White Plume Mountain, decide to take a rest for the night in the room controlled by a wizard. The wizard sends an assault team to bring them to him, two Ogres trying to knock down their door with hammers:

Ogre: "Come out and meet the master of White Plume Mountain!"
PC Warblade: "You come in HERE and meet the master of White Plume Mountain."

Ogres knock down door, Warblade trips them both (he was a beast at tripping!):

Warblade: "Guys, it didn't have to be this way!"

The OOC was a player who on several occasions would open a 2-liter of soda as soon as it arrived, and of course it fizzes up and spills everywhere. After the 3rd or 4th time:

Ryan (angry): "We keep telling you to open it slowly - why won't you open it slowly?"
Dave (flabergasted): "You mean you want me to actually PHYSICALLY OPEN IT SLOWLY???"
Room: *raucous laughter*

He's a smart guy, he just didn't get the concept of carbonation.
 


Some of these are player OOC quotes, but the majority are in character...

Wayne: I've heard bad stories about people getting shot in the back, so I'm going to avoid shooting them in the face.
--------------------------
Bar-Bar: Valzlaag is a little bit north, and Barzuk is south by a lot more. I don't understand why we would go south to go north.
DM: Oh, get a point of Intelligence bonus and now you get all uppity.
--------------------------
Anna: You hit Venail on the head with that one.
--------------------------
Barb: I get violent when I am tickled.
Fentie: You start violent.
--------------------------
Nick: This is the most f**ked up party ever!
--------------------------
Miggins to Bar-Bar: Go ahead. We'll be right behind you. *rolls bluff check*
--------------------------
Anna: I endured your elements.
--------------------------
Anna: "Doma Ogmi gato..."
--------------------------
Nick: Your balls won't know what to do!
--------------------------
Ogmi: I'm as wise as Buddha on a stick.
Ilraeth: Like a Buddha-cicle.
--------------------------
Nick: Bonus!
Fentie: I'm about to.
--------------------------
Bill: I don't think of badgers as being big and mean... they're more like little and mean.
Fentie: Oh, they're badass. They are like a pancake of death.
--------------------------
Fentie: It fills a 30 ft cube... with a sphere.
Bill: But what about all that pi?
--------------------------
Fentie: There's not much there. Just a bunch of plains.
Barb: Knowledge (Plains)?
--------------------------
Barb: I survived the initial trample when nothing else did!
Fentie: Congratulations, you're stronger than a bunny.
--------------------------
Fentie: Thank you for coming so quickly.
Anna: That's what she said.
--------------------------
Barb: If I charge up to it, I won't be 30 within Miggins.
--------------------------
Vaughn: What's the map like?
Fentie: It's a 5-foot hallway leading to a 40-foot square room. It's a very basic map.... very "Orc and Pie"-ish. The map is sort of irrelevant.
Vaughn: Well, I want his pie. I'm going in.
--------------------------
Anna: *rolls attacks*
Nick: Haste!
Anna: *rolls another attack*
Fentie: *holding die up threateningly* I'll shove this in your pee-hole.
Barb: *looks at Fentie with a disturbed look*
Fentie: What? Nick is totally being a bastard. He deserves a d4 in his urethra.
Nick: *grimaces*
--------------------------
Fentie: 44 (damage).
Barb: You mean 24!
Nick: Please don't hurt my urethra.
--------------------------
Nick: I will fart out a haste spell and back out.
--------------------------
Warren: I give the Rod of Wonder to the paladin. *to the paladin* Unless you're going to use it against me.
Anna: No. Well, not unless you f**k up.
Warren: Wait, I want to keep the rod!
--------------------------
Warren: And then I go "whacky" again!
--------------------------
Anna: There is no cash value on righeousness!
--------------------------
Fentie: Are those my pants?
--------------------------
Kronk: I'm gonna whip it out and go, "Whoa, yeah. Bring it on."
--------------------------
Kronk: OW! CLERIC!
Dwovar: No.
--------------------------
Dwovar: Kronk, how are you feeling?
Kronk: Dude, I'm at about half.
Dwovar: You're at half again?! You twit!
--------------------------
Fentie: Boo, boo ba doo ba doo!
--------------------------
Nick: Are you boned yet?
 

One of the players in our group was playing a new character to our adventuring crew. In a group meeting of sorts, we were discussing what ought to be our next course of action (we had just been reincarnated after a TPK -- except for this new character). So, one of the characters (paladin) starts going on and on about the ethical repercussions of our actions. The new girl, who was seemingly deep into a book, suddenly perks up as if realizing something and blurts, "You're a PALADIN! I've read about you guys!"
 

I've got two :)

The party is walking down a spiral set of stairs on the side of a column and the magical light the party uses goes out. The paladin uses a daylight spell and that goes out, too. The party starts panicking and I say, "I light a torch". Voila, anti-magic problem solved :p

Another situation in an FR game, the party was given directions to a crossroads entrance, but the party bard and druid couldn't get it to open. The player of the party barbarian says, "I knock on the tree." Voila, crossroads opens.

To this day, both of those get repeated when we're faced with annoying problems.
 

Hee! This is a GREAT thread!

To chip in,here' s some from our current "Age of Worms" campaign.

Was the party scared into believing your PC was a God, producing anti-magic defeating flame at will? :)
 

From a Star Wars d6 RPG I was in a few years ago...

Honest Starship Captain: "I can't take on 4 stormtroopers AND Vader."

Less-than-honest Gambler and Con Artiste: "I don't care if we go down, just save my chair" and "But but but... I need my fingers to cheat!"

One from my Eberron campaign

Talenta Halfling Druid (to the Warforged Paladin): "Hey, do you eat?"
Warforged Paladin: "I suppose I can, although I suppose I don't digest it. I can drink potions which affect me normally"
Halfling: "Oh I see. So what happens to that food that you don't digest?"
Warforged: "I probably eject it out some where around where you have a bottom, or out my mouth"
Halfling: "I guess you have somewhere inside you, like a stomach where the food or potions are stored for a time?"
Warforged: "I suppose I would"
Halfling: "That's great! We can use you to store stuff... like spell components! And things to get past border guards!!"
Warforged (looking incredulous... as is the rest of the table): "Why don't I swallow all our gold pieces and my backside can be our party's automatic teller machine??"
 

"Someone's using a cadaver to hide a drinking problem." - Gus, the Rogue about a guy who had been dead for months had somehow been ordering and paying for drinks in the tavern

"Hey guys, I think that guy's dead. Wanna' take his stuff?" -Gus, the Rogue

"She thinks its the nifftiest thing since slice bread, moreso because sliced bread hasn't been invented yet." -the DM

"All animals have snakes." -Rick the Ranger

Rogue:"How are you?"
Ghost of Monk:"Still Dead."
Rogue: "Well, I hope that gets better."

"You can't see me, I'm moving silently." -Gus, the Rogue

"The ninja is gay." -the DM

"I've got a tree in my--" - Ringwalled, who stopped the word 'pants' before it left his mouth, and instead told the female paladin of the goddess of law and justice "I have a Qual's Feather Token in my backpack."

"Death to Art." - Gus, after knocking over and destorying an army of terra cotta warriors out of the fear that they might come to life and attack the party


The Enchantress is returning to the tavern in the company of an evil Ranger. She wants the entire party to get to gether in the common room, so that when they enter they can capture him. This message is given telepathiclly to her familliar, a cat. The cat then passes it on to a leopard, the druid's animal companion. The thing was the druid had a split-personality, and the other personality was a sorcerer who's familiar was a snake. The leopard gives the message to the snake (handwaved by the DM because they are both familiars/animal companions of the same guy), and the snake passes it on to the sorcerer (who was the dominant personality at the time). The sorcerer passes the rest of the message on to the party as:
"Meow, meow, meow, meow, boobs, big room."


Quotes which have their origins in difficulties reading the handwriting of other people:
"Why do I speak Lesbian?"
"Why do I have ranks in 'Use Rape'?"
"Flurry of Gloves?"
